Di-Acro Shear Aluminum Capacity?

Rick Finsta · Apr 2, 2018

I'm looking at a 24" Di-Acro shear, 16ga mild steel capacity. I generally cut 3003-H14 or 6061-T6511 aluminum 0.080-0.090" thick for fuel cells and valve covers (race car parts). By the numbers (1.5X mild steel capacity)I should be fine but I don't wanna buy something that won't work for me!

Thanks in advance.

if i had a piece i would try it for you. all i had is .120 x 6" which sheared quite easy

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to bring a piece with me but I would be shearing full-length from time to time, but not on the regular.

I know I've done 0.125" 6061 on a 16ga rated hydraulic shear without issue but not sure about the hand crank LOL.

Just tried 18" of 6061 0.090, sheared very easy.
